The Portland Trail Blazers and the Washington Wizards will square off for the second and final time this season on Friday, 7:00 pm US EST, at Capital One Arena.
The total is set at over/under 220.5 points as bookmakers anticipate a high-scoring game between two of the poorest defensive teams in the NBA.

DeAndre Ayton and Jabari Walker also chalked up big numbers in the game. Ayton finished with 24 points and 16 rebounds, while Walker added 14 points and a career-high 22 rebounds.
